Raw Almond Banana "Ice Cream"



Encase the above post ever disappears here is what Eat Clean. Train Mean. Live Green. wrote: Raw Almond Banana "Ice Cream." All you do is blend up 2 frozen bananas and then add in a tablespoon of raw almond butter (you need to make the almond butter separately.. or purchase it). Either way, blend up 2 frozen bananas with your favorite nut butter of choice (to taste). You can also add in raw cacao powder or nibs to create a chocolate banana nut butter "ice cream." I also love to sprinkle my "ice cream" with unsweetened coconut flakes and chopped nuts. You can literally use frozen bananas to create a wide variety of different flavored "ice creams." Other options include: Cinnamon, sprinkles, vanilla, cherries, vegan chocolate chips, vegan marshmallows, granola, rolled oats, fresh or puréed strawberry..

As of December 7, 2014 :: I have yet to try this but it sounded good enough to share. If you end up trying it please let me know how it turned out!

How Many Did It Make : In total I was able to make 22 cookies with the ingredients provided and making the cookies a little smaller then the suggested tablespoon size.


My Family's Verdict :

My Food Critic Hubby's Thoughts : Poor guy can't eat them/try them because he's on the Paleo Diet and this recipe has 2 ingredients that he's not able to eat (oats and peanut butter).

My Thoughts : Yummy and good. However, not very tasty if the chocolates aren't included (as I had a bite without some and it wasn't as good).

My 2-year-old Daughter's Thoughts : Thought they were yummy and kept asking for more!

Author instructions & pictures :

ALL NATURAL PANCAKE RECIPE... NO PROCESSED ANYTHING!!

- 1 ripe banana
- 2 whole eggs

That’s it. Just mix together in a bowl and make sure the banana is all mashed. Then spray your pan with some "spray & cook" or coconut oil. On a low to medium heat, scoop some of the batter into the pan & give it about 20-30 sec, flip, and done! Serve and eat!

*Some advice would be to make them small so its easier to flip

Under 250 calories, nearly 14g of protein! No processed anything! These pancakes are gluten free, low calorie.

2nd Attempt with Pam Cooking Spray : It was easier to flip using the cooking spray. However, I'm not sure if it was because of my gas stove or if it was just me but it took longer then the 20-30 seconds to flip more like a minute and a half.
